Kookin' With Kika - Episode 2: Now Hiring!

[Squiggles]

Oh god. Those dudes are crazy. Don't look him in the eye.

Wait until he gives his "And that's not all offer" at the least before showing any interest. If you're patient he'll inevitably double your order and throw in some kitchen doohicky worth thirty credits absolutely free! But it isn't until he says "And if you buy right now I'll cut one of the payments!" do you buy. I mean really, it's only two payments of 19.95. You can afford that, can't you?

[Yamtaggler]

>Take knife, examine it, eat it, pay the friendly alien.

This is what I was going to say, so I'm seconding it.

[Neofafnir]

>Eat the knife, tip the nice alien for the tasty snack!

You would TOTALLY DO THIS if you could understand a single word the guy is saying. Seriously, your translator can't even keep up.

Examine knife's capabilities in regards to cutting meat.

If it is better than the one you already have, buy it.

Look at the knife over the top of your sunglasses. You mustn't remove them, even to consider such an important purchase.

Buying a new CHEF KNIFE is SERIOUS BUSINESS so you inspect it very carefully, your piercing glare determining its worth and flaws.

… Wow, that thing is a piece of crap. Is that RUST? Seeing a knife in such a poor state is almost enough to make you ANGRY.



The salesman wannabe TREMBLES under your scrutinizing glare. he knows that his product is of low quality!

>Take knife, examine it, eat it, pay the friendly alien.

>Eat the knife, tip the nice alien for the tasty snack!

You are much too upset to be nice! You swipe the knife from his hand. Wow, it even FEELS bad to the touch.



You EAT THE KNIFE so that its incredibly bad quality won't bother any chef EVER AGAIN.



And you prepare to SHOW this shoddy businessman what a REAL chef knife should look like!



… Huh, I guess he couldn't take the pressure. You were gonna pay him for his knife and everything (you DID eat it after all). Weird people.

Happy tenth update!

55 pictures so far, including the title!

[Whimbrel]

Welp. Continue your search. Perhaps look for some seedy establishment to find information or parts?

[ponytailArtist]

Welp. Resume looking for other not-shady business dealers.

[MidnightSun308]

Welp. Realize that the knife, while blunt, is still sharp enough to mess up your mouth.

[Varkarrus]

her mouth is made of dark matter and is nearly indestructable.

[Bradley]

Eat your lack of knowing where a salesman is.
No wait that's stupid.

Tap someone on the shoulder and ask them if "they" happen to "know" where someone "like" yourself could find "stuff."

[Neofafnir]

>Walk down the street loudly asking yourself where on the station you can find someone to help you get not-shady-business goods and information.

Welp.

No time to lose, you suppose, there is still much to be done! Now how to find something…

Eat your lack of knowing where a salesman is.
No wait that's stupid.

Tap someone on the shoulder and ask them if "they" happen to "know" where someone "like" yourself could find "stuff."

You'd rather not. Tapping people on the shoulder is a good way to remind yourself that you are rather SHORT since you have to stand on your tiptoes to do it. or rather, that every other race in the universe is TALL. Its a pet peeve of yours.

>Walk down the street loudly asking yourself where on the station you can find someone to help you get not-shady-business goods and information.

Sure, that sounds like a good idea and oh hey that's shiny.

AND clean.

AND it has the "HONEST" thing in the title.

It gives you a good feeling! Lets go in.



You enter the store. Stoically, as is appropriate when doing Not-shady business. The guy in charge greets you.



… You could have sworn you've seen him before somewhere.

[Reecer6]

>Realize everyone in this giant mantis race is the same guy
>Ask for a ship that can get you to this Restricted Planet
>Wonder how his eyepatch goes behind his eye

[Bradley]

Isn't that the guy who tried to sell you the knife earlier?

Whatever. Don't even check to see if he has what you need, just start haggling.

Brilliant.

[The One Guy]

>Realize that every single place in the entire station is run by the same person, and he works full time at all of them.

[goggleman64]

> Kika: Gotta keep up with the Jones's! Now you need an awesome, flashy intro, so this guy knows how important you are!

[Kikka]

What's cooking

[charcharmunro]

Kikka responding to an adventure about Kika. What.
Right, well.
>T'k'shim'k'kra: Explain that you own every shop on this station except the clothes shop, and you're their biggest customer.
>Kika: Do what you were gonna do.

Yup.

[Mazinja]

What's cooking

Wait, I thought you were the chef.

I AM SO CONFUSED

[Squiggles]

Guys, don't you know that mantis-dude and other mantis-dude are like identical... well... heh... what's the term... quinthundreduplettes or something?

What? He's clearly a different guy! I mean, once has a HAT, and the other has and eyepatch. Makes perfect sense to you!

… no idea how that eyepatch works tho.

Isn't that the guy who tried to sell you the knife earlier?

Whatever. Don't even check to see if he has what you need, just start haggling.

YES! Forget everything else, it's time to do BUSINESS!



The haggling battle is truly EPIC. Too EPIC to be depicted in an accurate fashion! But in the end, you prevail! And you get… you get…



… an empty cardboard box.

… Hmm. Maybe you got a bit overtly exited. You should check what you are buying next time.

[Armok]

> almost eat box before you remember you shuld probably check what's in it first.

(awesome animation earlier btw)

[Bradley]

The box isn't empty. It is filled with air, one of the most important things to bring with you on a journey through space.

This one was a win.

If he doesn't have what you need, see if he'll help you figure out where you can find it.

Oh, that… that made sense… you wish it had occurred to you like a second ago.



Ok, enough Shenanigans! You tell him you want information on the planet DIRT and the ability to get there in one piece!

He says he can help you, but corrects you in one thing.



The planet you are looking for is actually called EARTH, which strikes you only as slightly less stupid, but whatever. He tells you that its a forbidden planet because the inhabitants have only begun to probe into space but are also somewhat aggressive. He also tells you that he can give you the proper equipment to get there.



But before he gives you anything else, you must… discuss a price.
